Geauga-Trumbull waste district needs Great American Litter Cleanup help

Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District is encouraging people of all ages to volunteer for Geauga-Trumbull’s upcoming Great American Litter Cleanup event.
The Great American Cleanup is the country’s largest community improvement program that kicks off each spring and engages more than 4 million volunteers in more than 20,000 communities.
Locally, Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste District
coordinates volunteer events and experiential environmental education programs that beautify parks, trails and recreation areas; beautify and green neighborhoods by planting trees, flowers and community gardens; clean shorelines and waterways; clean up litter and debris from public lands; reduce waste and increase recycling; and host recycling and e-cycling drives.
Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste District will be conducting Great American Cleanup events throughout April and May.
Volunteers from schools, youth and adult groups and neighborhoods can register their cleanup online at www.startrecycling.com. Those interested can select any area in the community that needs cleaned and register their site to receive free supplies.
“We serve as a powerful voice and solution provider for communities looking to unlock their potential,” said Jennifer M. Jehn, president and CEO of Keep America Beautiful.
“During the Great American Cleanup, our volunteers’ work returns, on average, $175 million in measurable benefits across the communities we serve. It’s clear that through our actions and impact, we help create communities that are socially connected, environmentally healthy and economically sound.”
